My delivery person wouldn't accept it no matter how much I insisted

From my perspective, I grew up in England where tipping is not customary - however - I also realize that many people in the service industry ( and gif-economy ) are working their tails off and just making ends meet. From a social perspective I like helping people out - if someone is dropping off a ~$85k vehicle and picking up a perfectly good Porsche that I just don’t want anymore, a few extra bucks doesn’t make a difference to me but might make a huge difference to them.I'm not sure if it's the lingering effect of the lockdowns but I feel like tipping has gotten out of control.
I offer a few water bottles and snacks (granola bars, trail mix, chips, etc) to any large delivery to my home (furniture, vehicle in this case, appliances, etc)
For contractors doing any major work on my home - I order pizza, and subs on day one for the workers and that's it for the rest of the project.
I thought your options are, 10% 15% 20% .... but usually minimum gratitude should be 18% .. so I would say just 18% of the car value is faire, if he brings an extra shot of tequila for free .. you should go for 20% or more ... thats what I would doWhen you take delivery at the factory, there's a mandatory $1800 tip.
I know that didn't help, but I couldn't resist.
Absolutely agree 20%. So, that's about $16k on a $80k car-right?I thought your options are, 10% 15% 20% .... but usually minimum gratitude should be 18% .. so I would say just 18% of the car value is faire, if he brings an extra shot of tequila for free .. you should go for 20% or more ... thats what I would do
Agreed…and remember…anything less than 15% and your guide will never call you backI thought your options are, 10% 15% 20% .... but usually minimum gratitude should be 18% .. so I would say just 18% of the car value is faire, if he brings an extra shot of tequila for free .. you should go for 20% or more ... thats what I would do
